I have sent this email to Charles Kennedy after his party decided to attack
peoples right to choose what form of car they use. Also I think what they
say could even incite hatred and all the horrors that comes with that to
people driving 4x4's. Below is the text that I have sent him. I have sent
the mail on the 26th of September and as yet have not had a reply.

I have also sent a copy of this Letter to The SUN, My Local Press
(Newcastle) and Some Motoring Press.
I am a little disappointed in your clearly ill informed attack on 4x4 motor
vehicles which did sound like political point scoring. Please read on and
see if you can really disprove my points enough for me to sell my 4x4.
Most 4x4 are no bigger than people carriers so will they be banded from the
roads for the same reasons of taking up to much road space and using more
fuel than say push bike. Again most 4x4 are no longer or wider than an
executive size car these being BMW 5 series and above as well as most
Mercedes models, also most of these cars have big thirsty petrol engines
like 6 cylinders and heaven forbid V6 and V8 engines.
Sports cars also are not really renowned for their fuel efficiency and most
of these have massive wheels and expensive tyres, and by the inherent nature
of the cars they can only carry 2 people, surely these must also be very
inefficient modes of transport.
So don't just propose to ban 4x4's be proud of your convictions and ban 4x4's,
People carriers, executive cars and sports cars.
But wait we can take this to the next logical step. Make all new cars have
engines no bigger than say 600cc, I think this already works in Japan, so
that could be an excuse for a little political jolly (sorry fact finding
mission) if you get to run the country after the next election.
Here are some other equally well thought out ideas that you could include in
your parties manifesto.
How about proposing that all new cars must be approved by the local planning
department* and the right to own a car could be decided on say: -
1 Do you live on or near a Bus route, if yes then you can't have a car.
2 Do you have somewhere to park the car off the public highway if no then
you can't have a car.
3 Will the car be mostly used by one person, if yes then you can have a
scooter.
4 Do any of your neighbours have a car, that perhaps you could share**
5 If the answer to 3 is no, then you might be allowed to own a small 2
seater 600cc (not a sports car)
* A large fee would have to be paid which would go towards improving public
transport
